5. Cancellation Scheme
Hendra Holiday Park offers two types of cancellation scheme cover, Standard and Enhanced.
Our Standard Cancellation Scheme premium is automatically applied to your booking unless you specifically choose otherwise. Your deposit payment will be deemed payment, or part payment towards, the Cancellation Scheme premium. You can also opt for the enhanced cancellation cover if you wish to do so. We strongly advise you to take one of our cancellation schemes as no refunds are given without it. Any cancellation requests have to be received in writing prior to commencement of your holiday.
Standard Cancellation Scheme
On written confirmation of cancellation of the entire party at least 6 weeks prior to commencement of your holiday, we will refund all monies paid, minus booking fee and cancellation scheme fee. Between 6 weeks prior to arrival and your arrival date Hendra will only refund if cancellation is due to any of the following: death, serious illness or redundancy of a named member of the booked party. Please note, that the claim must be in writing and supported by the relevant documents. In case of a successful claim, the refund will be for all monies paid, minus booking fee and cancellation scheme fee. Our acknowledgement is evidence that we have received your notification.
Enhanced Cancellation Scheme
On written confirmation of cancellation of the entire party at least 4 weeks prior to commencement of your holiday, we will refund all monies paid, minus booking fee and cancellation scheme fee. Between 4 weeks prior to arrival, and your arrival date we will only refund if cancellation is due to any of the following: death, serious illness or redundancy to a member of the booked party. Please note, the claim must be in writing and supported by the relevant documents. In case of a successful claim, the refund will be for all monies paid minus booking fee and cancellation scheme fee. Between 4 weeks and 2 weeks prior to your arrival date, on written confirmation of cancellation of the entire party for any reason, we will offer a booking credit or a date change so you can take your holiday at a later date, within the next 12-month period. Please note, extra charges may be applicable if the date that you move the booking to is more expensive than the date originally booked, if the date that you move the booking to is less expensive, the difference will be held as a booking credit. If a booking credit is opted for, the credit will be equal to all monies paid, minus booking fee and cancellation scheme fee, and will be valid for holidays booked within the next 12-month period; please note, the value of any credit note will not be refunded if the subsequent booking is cancelled. Our acknowledgement is evidence that we have received your notification.

Even numbered mixed parties will only be accepted at Hendra’s discretion, and a security deposit may be required. If you haven’t made a group booking and arrive in a group, we may ask you to leave the park without a refund. In certain circumstances, Hendra will accept bookings from clubs, school groups or similar. A single person supplement may be charged at the rate of one extra adult per day during peak periods.
7. Group Bookings
Updated 13/12/21
Hendra only caters for families and couples, as per the terms above. Regardless of whether separate bookings have been made, members of the same family, and/or friends who book multiple lodges, holiday homes or pitches will be considered as a group. This includes any guests who live together at the same address, guests who are previously known to each other, guests who are traveling together, or guests who are traveling together for the same purpose such as to or from a local event. You are required at the time of booking to make us aware if you are traveling as part of a group that occupies a total of 3 or more accommodations or pitches.
If for whatever reason you have not made us aware that you are part of a group and arrive in a group, or are pre-known to each other on arrival, Hendra reserves the right to ask you to leave site without a refund. On the occasion that we do accept your group booking, we may ask you for a pre-paid security deposit prior to your arrival on site.
When using any of our spaces for socialising, yourself and your party are responsible for adhering to the following advice. As Hendra is a family friendly site and we ask that you be respectful of others during your holiday. When in large groups, please maintain a respectful distance from other pitches, and treat other guests with kindness so everyone can have a good time. We also ask that you are mindful of noise levels during the daytime, and adhere to our strict 10pm noise policy in the evenings.
Any breaches of our behaviour policy will be treated seriously. If at any point during your visit, your group is disrespectful of other guests or the site, or any anti-social behaviour is displayed, we reserve the right to tell you and your entire party to leave the site with immediate effect without any refunds.
Our priority is to provide a fun and enjoyable holiday for all, and we hope you can work with us to make sure everyone has an amazing holiday at Hendra.
Please see our ‘With Friends’ section for details on guaranteeing pitches allocated together.

Please note, pitch preference is also subject to provision of your unit dimensions as the unit must fit safely on the pitch (see ‘unit sizes’ section).
31. With Friends
It is possible to add ‘With Friends’ to your booking if you would like to be with friends and family. There is a charge per unit booked to secure this.
If you require two or more pitches together, we strongly recommend this option. Without adding ‘With Friends’ we cannot guarantee that units will be together.
You will all need to book the same type of unit and request the, ‘With Friends’ option when booking. Each party will need to add this to their booking and each party must provide the booking reference number of all parties they would like to be next to, so we can arrange this for you.
Please note we can only accept a maximum of 4 bookings within any particular party. Larger party enquiries may on occasion be accepted, at the discretion on the management. This restriction is to help protect the family environment and the enjoyment of other guests. Consequently, the behaviour of linked, ‘with friends’ bookings must be in keeping with the rest of the site.
Whilst we will try our best to ensure you are allocated the pitch next to each other, in some circumstances we may be unable to offer this. In such cases we will offer a refund of the, ‘with friends’ charge only.

If you are bringing a vehicle with you, please advise us when booking your holiday. For touring reservations, we charge per vehicle on site, which includes motorhomes and campervans.
Cars towing a touring caravan are charged as one vehicle.
If you are bringing more than one motorised vehicle (for example if you are bringing your motorhome and a car or are coming in two cars) you have to inform us at the time of booking and additional charges may apply.
For holiday homes we allow a maximum of 2 vehicles per booking, with only one allowed to be parked next to the holiday home if/where parking is available.
If you are bringing any additional motorised vehicles, you have to make us aware of this prior to arrival and there will be an additional charge for this. This includes, but is not limited to, jet skis, speedboats and cars over the amount allowed on the booking.
The maximum speed limit across the site is 5mph for all vehicles and must be always adhered to; all park roads and areas are subject to Road Traffic Law.
No driving is permitted generally around the site between midnight and 7am (unless unavoidable) to ensure minimum noise disturbances to other guests. Please respect the peaceful enjoyment of other guests.
Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Charging
Charging an electric or hybrid vehicle from an electric outlet in your caravan or on your pitch is not permitted without prior authorisation. Due to the extra energy/load required to charge an EV you are required to apply for a charging permit prior to arrival, for which a surcharge of £15.00 per day will be added to your booking, to be paid in advance. Charging an electric/hybrid vehicle without prior authorisation will result in a penalty charge of £35.00 per day (or part thereof).
We are also happy to direct guests to the nearest available public charging points.
Please note that our holiday home and touring pitch electrical infrastructure is not set up specifically with EV charging in mind; so we cannot provide suitably rated, protected and certified measures for plugging an EV and that even where charges are made for EV charging that you do so entirely at your own risk.
42. Commercial Vehicles
By law we cannot permit guests to work from site. Our license extends to short term holiday accommodation only. Where there is a genuine holiday booking and a guest has no option but to use their own commercial vehicle we can make an exception so long as:
- The guests do not work from site
- Are not here for their own business means
- The commercial vehicle is in a good state of repair and is no larger than a standard panel van (e.g. Transit)
- Is parked in one of the site car parks rather than on a pitch if requested by Hendra staff.
- The guest allows us to make the necessary checks to confirm the above e.g. Allow us to confirm the van is clear of tools etc
Hendra reserve the right to refuse entry to any person or vehicle under the managements discretion.
43. Towing/Jump Starting Vehicles
There are times when, due to the nature of the grass environment, vehicles may get stuck in the mud. We can assist with the towing of vehicles from pitches during normal office hours. If assistance is required, you will be asked to sign a disclaimer as we are unable to accept responsibility for any damage caused when giving assistance. A £50 charge may apply, but we reserve the right to cover further costs at the managements discretion.
We can assist with jump starting vehicles from on site during normal office hours. If assistance is required, you will be asked to sign a disclaimer as we are unable to accept responsibility for any damage caused when giving assistance. A £30 charge may apply, but we reserve the right to cover further costs at the managements discretion.
44. Parking
We do provide parking on site for vehicles.
In most cases one vehicle can be parked next to the holiday home or on your pitch, but there are some areas where this is not possible. If you require adjacent parking, you must tell us in advance of your holiday, so we can ensure your requirements can be met if possible.
If your unit does not have adjacent parking, or for additional cars, there are car parks around the site for you to use. The car parks can be identified on the park map.
45. Deliveries
Any supermarket or shopping delivery drivers must be able to contact the guest directly, as we cannot take in any shopping on a guest’s behalf. For all guest’s privacy, we are unable to direct drivers to a plot/accommodation. We ask all guests to arrange to meet their driver at reception to collect the delivery and recommend providing the supermarket with a contact number. No deliveries should be scheduled before the check-in time to your static caravan or touring pitch, and we will not be able to allow you to check-in early or store items for you prior to your caravan or pitch being available.
Any parcels may be accepted in our administration building however these must be correctly labelled with the guest details and booking numbers. We recommend guests use a click and collect point nearby for deliveries. Hendra will not accept any liability for parcels delivered to us. We reserve the right to decline any deliveries. It is the guest’s responsibility to collect any deliveries and we are not responsible for returning/forwarding mail in case this is forgotten. Parcel will be held for no longer than 7 days after which they will be disposed of.
46. Personal Property
Hendra accept no responsibility for personal property left on site. If items are left behind, we can arrange for them to be returned subject to payment of postage costs, which will be confirmed before the item is posted. We can retain the cost from the returnable key deposit (see ‘key deposit’ section) on your instructions or we can take a card payment over the phone.
Any property left behind will be kept for no more than 7 days after departure. Please note, items in (bin)bags or any items that may be conceived as left on purpose to be disposed off may be thrown away and Hendra accepts no responsibility for property left on site.
47. Alcohol/Drugs
We only sell alcohol to persons 18 years or over. Membership passes do not qualify as proof of age; we reserve the right to request to see an approved form of identification – passport, photo driving license or valid identification card when purchasing alcohol on site. We reserve the right to refuse to serve alcohol to anyone, regardless of age, at the management’s discretion.
We also reserve the right to refuse entry into any facility, or the provision of any service or accommodation to any person if they appear to be physically or mentally impaired by the consumption of alcohol or use of recreational drugs, (including appearing hung-over or smelling of drugs or alcohol), and are considered a risk to, or have a potential detrimental impact on, themselves, visitors, guests, staff, or property.
48. Smoking
All our facilities and accommodation are strictly non-smoking. E-cigarettes are also not permitted in any of our facilities.
The park centre is now a smoke and vape free zone, please see designated smoking and vaping areas when visiting our main facilities.
49. Electricity Supply
The electricity supply to our electric pitches, Grand Premium pitches, Super pitches, Silver Leaf and Gold leaf pitches is nominally 16 amps / 240 v, however we reserve the right to reduce this capacity without warning and cannot guarantee a full supply during periods of high demand or under conditions out of our control.
50. Feeling Unwell
If you are ever feeling unwell whilst holidaying with us then please let us know. We want to protect our staff and guests, so if we become aware or have reason to believe that you may be unwell with a contagious disease or illness, then yourself and your party may be asked to go home. If it is not possible for you to go home, then you and your party may be required to isolate to prevent the disease or illness being transmitted to any guests or staff. This may incur additional charges if your stay has to be extended.
51. Special Offers/Discounts
Only one discount or special offer can be applied per booking. Once booked, any offers that may become available subsequently, such as last-minute offers, cannot be applied to an existing booking unless this was part of the booking terms of a special offer, in which instances the terms of the offer apply to the booking. Once payment in full has been received, no refunds can be made for changes in price.
52. Loyalty Card Membership Levels
We offer a tiered level loyalty card system to guests who book directly with Hendra* which entitles the account holder to different loyalty offers depending on the type of loyalty card level they hold.
- BLUE – Stayed 3 times over 5 years

Hendra also takes our own promotional films and photographs throughout the year anywhere in the park. We will try and make guests aware of when we are filming or taking photographs, and we will try to make sure that this doesn’t affect your holiday.

Other Things We Would Like You To Know…
The company reserves the right to enter caravans under special circumstances or emergencies, at any time.
We do not permit gazebos, tents, washing lines or similar items on the grass area by your holiday home.
Please ensure BBQ’s are positioned so they do not burn the grass or become a fire hazard; they should be kept off the ground and in a well-ventilated area. BBQs should not be used or stored within any type of accommodation as this can cause deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. Disposable BBQs should be disposed of only when completely cold.

In such circumstances, we reserve the right to request written medical evidence or apply our own test criteria, including but not limited to temperature checks. In all cases the Park Manager’s decision is final and there will be no right to a refund where no entry to, or eviction from the site results.
